Maybe this is localized to my area (Springfield/Hartford), but it seems like water fountains are becoming less and less prevalent. Water fountains I used to utilize on runs several years ago have either been removed or permanently turned off. In fact, I'd wager at least 66% of the water fountains I come across are out of commission. Perhaps late April is still too early, but I noticed this all last summer as well. And it is the same whether I'm running in the rich suburbs or in the hood.
Anyone else lamenting the demise of the water fountain?
